Well not such a good start but lets hope we bounce back vs the Leafs.

Go Sens!

We didn't look too bad in the 1st period, looked great in the 2nd period but looked scrappy as hell in the 3rd.

I thought we were lucky to get away with the W.

I thought our PP would be a lot better this year with Koralev on the team, but it's looked pretty disjointed so far.

Good to see us win our home opener but we had a lot more trouble with the Islanders than I thought we would.

I was at the game on Sat night Vs Atlanta the the atmosphere was great.

Glad I wasn't there Monday night Vs the Penguins though!! In saying that, 2 or 3 of their goals were very, very lucky.

We need to do more on with our power play. We need Kovalev to start making a difference.

Fish has looked really soild so far.

There is a pretty good feeling around the team.

Michalek is the man! 3 goals and the Sens offense finally clicked vs Tampa Bay.

If Cheechoo can start finding his groove then the Heater trade will start looking like a really, really good move.

Leclaire has looked awesome in net too.

Sens have slipped a bit the last few games.

Spezza has been out, Leclair has been ill, they were unlucky against Boston (got some really bad bounces) and played on crap ice in Florida.

I think they are still looking the goods.

What a joke job vs NJ Devils.

Sens need to hold onto this game.

Good win.

What an awesome win over Pittsburgh! The offense is finally firing up.

Sens give up the first goal vs the Sabres but our offense is clicking right now - 4 straight goals!

slaterbug · Post #15 » by **slaterbug** » Sun Nov 22, 2009 2:24 am

5 straight now baby! Sens offense is looking great the last couple of games.

Sabres get a couple of late goals but Sens win 5-3, good win.

I really hope Leclaire is alright as he left the game after the third. Seemed to be his knee but according to the Sens staff it was a slightly tweaked back and neck.

Clouston said Leclarie will be alright but I still would like to be precautionary as we have a very solid back-up in Elliot.

Great comeback win against the caps tonight, starting to feel bad for Leclaire though as he got hit in the Jaw with a puck and heard he may have a Broken jaw according to one of the sportsnet broadcasters.

Also, whats with the constant slow starts to start out games. I'm not expecting us to play a full game like that for 60 minutes but a little effot would be nice, we were constantly chasing the puck and were basically doubled in shots.

That 3rd period was the best period we have played in years. The puck movement was awesome and you could sense that the guys really felt they could come back and push it to OT - and they did.

Fish having a career year. If he keeps up this pace he'll be in line for an 80pt season.

Elliot looked pretty solid too - which is great to have.

Great to see Spezza score and the Sens win.
